IMPACT OF RACISM ON HEALTH: ESPECIALLY DURING THE COVID-19 PERIOD

February 2, 2021 @ 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm

In the past year, there has been quite a bit of discussion surrounding the impact that COVID-19 has had on communities of colour. In particular, on the effect that it has had on Black communities across Canada and the United States. According to medical experts, the lack of access these communities have to healthcare and the high levels of poverty found within them have made them even more vulnerable to the pandemic.

Speaker: Dr. OmiSoore Dryden
